Do you know what's scary?

President Bush and Karl Rove sat listening to Norman Podhoretz for roughly 45 minutes at the White House as the patriarch of neoconservatism argued that the United States should bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Yes the scary part is that a lunatic like Norman Podhoretz would have access to the President of the United States for 45 minutes. Of course Norman is not the only nut case that has access to the boy idiot that occupies the White House. We also have these nutcases that have the ear of George W. Bush. We have the Christian Taliban wingnuts like James Dobson and Tim LaHaye. There has been a great deal of noise about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Yes he's a nut case but we have plenty of nut cases right here in the US of A and they are advising the President of the United States.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
